Puke Skywalker - Tripper Crust EP [2012]

Puke Skywalker is one of the first music blogs I ever started following, and is responsible for introducing me to some of the bands I love most (Can, Les Rallizes Dénudés, Grazhdanskaya Oborona, etc.). Posting dropped off for a good while there, only to return with some creations of the author himself.

This EP is a bunch of punk/hardcore/crust songs sampled and cut up to create new 'songs.' Which makes perfect sense if you think about it: bands constantly rehash and rearrange chord changes, guitar leads, vocal rhythms, and drum beats when making 'real' punk music; Puke Skywalker is different from that only technically. I'm honestly surprised I haven't heard other people doing this (I assume they're out there).

Anyway, the music is intense as fuck and samples Infest, Anal Cunt, and some other stuff I'm not really familiar with. But I gotta say, there is something incredibly gratifying about hearing blast beats at a speed that may or may not be humanly possible. Also, the artwork is sick.

here's the deal

Since the mediafire days have ended, many of the links on this site are dead. I'll get around to putting them back up eventually, but if you're feeling impatient just leave a comment on the one yr lookin' for.

Dear Reader

FFS support the artists you like. Buy records and tshirts and posters, or send a donation on bandcamp. Go to shows and tell the folks when you like the gig. Write a zine about your favorite band. Be a fan. Also, if I post something you download and end up really enjoying, leave a comment. It's encouraging to hear noises from the other end of the fiber.

Bands/Labels

I don't have time like I once had to to sift through an inbox full of bandcamp links and zip files, so I gotta regretfully tell ya I'm not offering to review those formats anymore.

However, if you send me a physical copy of your stuff, I will promise to write it up, no exceptions. Get in touch with me (in the zen arcade at gmail).

RIAA Types

Don't be an asshole, I'm a reasonable person and don't want any legal trouble. Email me like the rest. I probably will avoid posting your shit anyway.
